The Festival Choir, Hosanna Chorus and Festival Choir & Orchestra - Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness!
God has brought his Israel
Into joy from sadness
Loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters
Led them with unmoistened foot
Through the Red Sea waters

See the spring of souls today
Christ has burst his prison
And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun hath risen
All the winter of our sins
Long and dark, is flying
From his light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying

Now the queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor
With the royal feast of feasts
Comes its joy to render
Comes to gladden faithful hearts
Which with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection!
